The Diary of Anne Frank | Year: 1959 Classification: Drama Directed: - George Stevens Actors/Actresses: - Millie Perkins - Shelley Winters Sad movie This movie really was good, even though I don't like the black and the white movies, but that one was exciting, touching and deserves to watches it, because it embodies the occurring life of the Jewish people in World War II. Also it seems the gloomy situation of people who were in hiding places for fear of the Germans to take them to the concentration camps. Anne Frank's position was one of them, it really was a hard time to live cut off from outside and deprived of a lot of things. I didn't know it until I read the book and I watched the movie. I can't belive or imagine how the two families had to be quiet and very careful as much as they could all the day during the 48 months. It really makes me wonder how they could survive the 2 years without freedom and fresh air, the most important things to live with. I also have some comments about the movie which I found exactly the opposite of the story for example: Dussel told Anne that he never got married but I still remember when Anne talked about everyone in the Secret Annex first wish, when they are allowed to go outside again he said that he wants to see his wife Lotje. Anne's helpers in the story were 4 but in the movie were only 2. In general the acting and actors were convincing. unfortunate timing there was only one reason this monumental film was not awarded the "Best Picture" oscar at the academy awards. that reason is simple; the year of its release. 1959 was an unfortunate year for George Stevens to release this masterpiece of filmmaking, because released that same year was "Ben-Hur". any connesieur of classic films can attest to the magnitude of "Ben-Hur", winner of 11 academy awards. inspite of the legendary status of "Ben-Hur", "The Diary Of Anne Frank" deserves just as much recognition.<BR>"The Diary Of Anne Frank" deserved the oscar just as much if not more than "Ben-Hur". the film was based on the diary written by Anne Frank while she was hiding out in the attic of an old house with her family and several others to avoid Nazi capture during those tragic days of WWII. <BR>the movie is nothing less than monumental and a perfect tribute to Anne Frank and her family. it is nearly 3 hrs. long but easily maintains one's interest throughout. there exist no words to justly express greatness of this magnificent opus of filmmaking. accolades to George Stevens for giving us this film. and God bless the entire Frank family for continuing to bring hope to the hearts of people globally for over 60 years. AMEN Anne Deserves Better There is no excuse why the best and most widely read Holocaust narrative couldn't have been made into a far superior movie than this disorganized and boring flick. For most Americans, The Diary of Anne Frank is the only Holocaust book they will ever read and most Americans won't even read that. Consequently, it is vitally important there be an excellent film adaptation of the book. This dull, watered down and not particularly well cast or acted film is not the perfect film memorial to the 7 million victims it needs to be.
